As someone who finds it easier to speak with a paintbrush, finding the right words for a statement does not come easily. My hope is that my paintings speak to you. That you are able to share the beauty I see all around me, and enjoy it through my eyes. When I am outdoors I see beauty in the way the light strikes a tree, or hits the lake, or the way the clouds move. I see beauty in the colours in the forest, in the mountains and rocks, and the old tired trees. I have to admit I am in love with trees. I love to touch them, sketch them and paint them. I think I'm kind of obsessed with tree bark as well although this might just be a phase. If my paintings touch you in some way or make you smile, I am happy.
